ALM R14 v Brisbane Cant

[JoyfulPenguin]

Armiento and Hore are quality wingers and with Storm out our right side is a concern. Hopefully Doka can show more than he has so far.

Who's back up to Doka? Would it be Farrell, and Smith in to left?

Smith but he's injured, Steele but he's out too.
Dan can't play there really but is an option.
That means Paull is CB
Doka is the least worst option really

Smith trained with the squad this week so maybe he'll be available.

Anyone is the NPL team worth a RB bench spot

Anyone is the NPL team worth a RB bench spot

Not sure who we have recruited but anybody I can think of from last years team that could have stepped up at RB have either been moved on (Bayliss, Zoricich), injured (Sasha) or gone overseas (Will Arnold).

If Doka does go down or doesn't last the 90 then we are paper thin for back up. Dan Hall would do a job there but that would mean either a rusty and underdone Smith to LB and Faz to CB, or Paull to CB, either of which would make me nervous. Same issues with Smith if Faz moved to RB.

Another option and this might be my preferred is to go to 3 CBs with either Torres and Faz, or Faz and Smith as the WBs

If Tapp is ok he can drop to CB with Kasalovic slotting in at CM

Isnt that the morning after pill?

In many cases the morning after pill is Plan A!

 

[Big Dog]

I've heard Sasha is close to training with the squad. That'd be great news

Could Kaltak be moved to RB to cover Roux if Jackson doesn't trust Doka at RB?

I remember him playing there against $ity last season?

Can’t see Tapp being fit if comments on here are to go by.

This is what happens when we bleed our Academy. To other clubs.

 

[Wombat]

When is Harry back. Read four weeks after his injury. Must be close?

He is off crutches but i would think 2 to 3 weeks away.

 

[Ironbark]

I'm fully assuming Doka will be RB
